Below, you've specified 'altnamespace: 1'. When connecting via an admin 
user, altnamespace is ignored, which may complicate what you're 
expecting to see.

Also, you've specified 'autocreatequota: 5', which limits the user to 
5KBs of space.

What do your cyradm createmailbox and setquota commands look like?

You have 'virtdomains: on'. Personally, I prefer configuring 
'virtdomains: userid'. 'doc/install-virtdomains.html' within the source 
documents the difference. It might matter when connecting as an admin 
user (without specifying a domain name).

Your sieve entry in cyrus.conf looks correct. Verify that the service is 
running with 'fuser 2000/tcp' or 'netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 
2000'. If not, there should be something in syslog about why it couldn't 
start. Locate where your cyrus binaries are installed (/usr/sbin ?) and 
verify there's a timesieved binary located there.

Also, stop cyrus, and make sure something else isn't already listening 
on port 2000, like inetd or xinetd.

If it is starting, but crashing somewhere, you can use the debug_command 
(in imapd.conf) to trouble shoot. See:

https://langhorst.com/cgi-bin/dwww//usr/share/doc/cyrus21-common/README.Debian.debug.gz

for some usage scenarios.

I don't know what that could be.
